We instead view writing as a process of discovering meaning or knowledge, not as simply a way to present it. Our view sees writing not merely for its conveyance properties, but for its communicative properties: Writing is not a container. Writing teachers and researchers, generally, hold to a broader view of writing—a view in which the technological changes in production and distribution matter a great deal. Even the most "traditional" teachers of writing who are engaged in the field of rhetoric and composition adopt what we suggest is a rhetorical viewpoint. But what does this mean?

By integrating the core principles of the writing workshop with those surrounding emerging technologies for writing, this book connects the writing workshop approach with the integration of newer technologies such as blogs, wikis, social networks, podcasts, and digital stories. By discussing these technologies through the framework of the five principles of the writing workshop noted previously—allowing for student choice, encouraging active revision, studying author’s craft, publishing beyond the classroom, and broadening our understandings of assessment—I intend to place digital writing tools in a context that those of us familiar with the writing workshop approach can understand and apply them to create better writers.
